[documentation] project.dependencies is not a TOML table

[andrei-korshikov]

Project dependencies reads:

The project.dependencies table represents the dependencies that are used when uploading to PyPI or building a wheel.

PEP 621 reads:

Format: Array of PEP 508 strings (dependencies) and a table with values of arrays of PEP 508 strings (optional-dependencies)

So, to my understanding, project.dependencies is an array (kinda list), not a table (map, dictionary, key-value pairs).

[andrei-korshikov]

Hmm, then Dependency tables are not "tables" but "array and tables"…

[andrei-korshikov]

Dependency tables reads:

The tool.uv.sources table extends the standard dependency tables

and has dependencies = ["foo"] array sample.

Am I missing something obvious?

We could probably just switch to "field" or something here. I don't think "table" was intended to convey semantic meaning as used.
